Barcelona star, Ousmane Dembele is set to miss up to four weeks with another hamstring injury.
The France international suffered the problem during Sunday's 4-2 win at Real Sociedad.
Although, he came off the bench to replace Paulinho midway through the second half.
Recall that Dembele, who joined Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund in August, missed almost all of the first half of the season after sustaining a hamstring injury against Getafe in September.
He returned to the Barca first team this month.

"Tests have confirmed that the player has suffered a hamstring injury of the semitendinosus muscle that does not affect the area operated on earlier in the season," a statement read.
"The injury will mean he will be out for a period of around three to four weeks."
Meanwhile, Barca confirmed Andres Iniesta has suffered a right calf injury and "his recovery will determine his return to action for the coming matches".
